Types of Fish Found
Depending on what part of the lake you fish, you will find many different species. Crappie, Bass, Catfish, and Walleye are the most popular finds. Nearly every part of the lake is overflowing with a bounty of fish to be caught. Year-round the lake has a large variety of fish to be caught, and no matter if on-season or off-season this is the best place to fish. The fall and winter months have significantly fewer tourists, giving you a more serene experience and allowing you to fish for longer. During winter, crappies are the most popular find, but you will want a good jerk-bait to coax them out of the water.
Baits to Use
Every season and type of fish will cause a different kind of bait to be used. If you are looking for expert advice you won’t have to travel far, just hop on over to Osage Beach Bait and Tackle.
